Based on the screenplay, a series of illustrations, i.e. "blueprints" of the show, are drawn to help the staff previsualize the production.
The structure of each scene is determined based on the storyboard, and the drawings of the characters that are the basis of creating the animation are produced("key animations").
The colors for the characters etc. are decided.
The key animations are filled in with "inbetweens" to create movement.
The backgrounds are drawn.
The "inbetweens" are colored with the specified colors.
The details and quality of the drawings are enhanced with CG.
Light, shadow, and other effects are added to the drawing.
